Scholars Boosters

The date for A Visit With Santa is set for December 10 from 9-11 a.m. Our Scholars Boosters parents held a lucrative bake sale at the event last year. Marcy Sizemore has graciously agreed to chair the bake sale this year. Please contact her if you would like to donate a cake or if you would like to help man the table the day of the event. Her email is is: marcy_size@yahoo.com.

Click the button above if you would like to see an overview of what we did last year: students and teachers from strings, drama, English language arts, and visual arts performing and interacting with our visitors. A full display of our Thomasville City Schools Science and Engineering Fair was held in the Multipurpose Room, and we are planning to include that again as well. We are adding a "Christmas Around World" component from our Social Studies Department. This event involved nearly zero expense, made money, and showcased our awesome school for the community.

In addition to donating cakes and helping man the bake sale, we will most likely need some help setting up tables after school on December 9. The most important thing will be for us to talk it up in the community. A graphic will be posted on official_scholars Instagram and on the Thomasville City Scholars Academy Facebook page. There will be a billboard running in town, and we will also deliver flyers to the elementary schools and possibly the preschools in town. If you all have any other ideas about promoting the event, please email Desirée Celaya: celayad@tcitys.org.

​We hope you all have had a great start to the year! We did a get small response from the donation letters that were sent out in each student's registration folder at the beginning of the year. There is a framed poster near our front office displaying the names of our sponsors. We appreciate all of the contributions that were made toward the Principal's Fund through our Ten Years of Scholars campaign.

Scholars Academy science teacher Christie Ariail, one of the PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Program committee members at our school, is asking for donations for prizes for our "Student of the Month" program. Last year we gave out prizes, like restaurant gift cards, to students chosen through the weekly ticket drawing. Those prizes came from teacher contributions and donations from businesses in the community. Ariail sent out about 70 letters to businesses and has received minimal response. We are not doing the ticket drawing each week this year, and we are still low on prizes for just the monthy acknowledgement.

We realize that many of you donated to the Principal's Fund through the fundraising campaign, but if you didn't get around to donating through the campaign, this is a great opportunity to donate to a program that works hard to keep procedures and policies in place at our school, all the while rewarding those who are doing the right thing!

Donations can be dropped off at the front office to Mrs. Ariail's attention.

Please check the Scholars Boosters area on the website from time to time. We do have the auditorium reserved for December 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for A Visit With Santa. We plan to pull in some other student organizations so that the brunt of the work won't fall on one group of adults. Please email Desiree Celaya if you are interested in helping with this event. The Bake Sale at the event was particularly successful, so stay tuned for information about who will chair that area of the event. The success of the entire event will depend on who all is willing to help! Click HERE to see the page from our Scholars Showcase magazine that featured A Visit With Santa.
